Brazil is a big ass country in South America which used to be great at football and has the most awesome carnival party in the world. Brazilians speak some kind of Portuguese and are goddamn annoying in online games.

When Brazil is next up on the minds of most people to becoming a Superpower, a little bit of awareness would go a long way.

Dunno about that. When I think of next in line for super power status, I think China or India... If there's a lot of news coming out of Brazil, and they start competing with the United States in a way China does.. then more people would pay attention and be more aware.

It's the largest country in South America.
It was a colony of Portugal, which is why they speak Portuguese.
The capital is Brasilia.
They have a giant statue of Jesus, located in Rio.
Carnival!
...and they produce some of the finest badonka-donks I have ever seen.

That's the bulk of what I know about Brazil. Is that enough, for someone who lives 4000 miles away from it?

As already pointed out, the economic growth in Brazil recently surpassed that of the UK. Whether that's more to do with the UK going down or Brazil going up or a combination of both, I'd say they're definitely in the mix now. Especially given their geography and natural resources.

I know they speak their own style of Portuguese and they have awesome carnivals during the carnival season.

Carnivale is just an excuse for people to get drunk and walk the streets naked. A waste of time if you ask me. Who wants to be drunk and naked in front of thousands of people? I might go if people were sober and well dressed and they had street food vendors and rides

I know that the person that made the video cant even spell Brazil correctly. He or She spelled it Brasil and then very next frame shows a map with the correct spelling of Brazil

i think Brasil is the Portuguese spelling of it.
